Investigation of Two-Wire Power Line for Efficient Propagation of THz Waves for Future 6G Communication Systems

Abstract

The hunger for high speed data transmission and wide bandwidth has led to exploration of the terahertz (THz) frequency bands. Designing an efficient waveguide that propagates the THz waves with minimum loss at such high frequencies is quite challenging. In this paper, commercially available two solid core wires are investigated for the efficient propagation of THz waves using higher order modes. The THz radiation propagates wirelessly through the dielectric space between two wires. The effect of different airgaps between the two wires is also analyzed to analyze its various propagation phenomenon. The simulation analysis is performed through CST Microwave Studio, and it is found that commercially available solid core two wire can be applied for efficient and reliable propagation of THz radiation for future generations to meet the needs of users and high-speed applications.
